Absolutely! We’re open to composers as well. Music is a huge part of the experience, and it’s great to have audio folks involved early.

Hi Noa! This is right up our alley! Strong narrative focus, adaptability, and your background in Chinese & Japanese literature is especially relevant to what we’re building.

We’re definitely welcoming writers, and Jade Seal is meant to be a place where that passion turns into real, collaborative experience. I’d love to have you join us and meet the rest of the team.

Hey! That’s totally fine - solo projects absolutely count, and a lot of people here are in that same “done stuff alone, want real team experience” stage.

We’re open to Unity programmers, especially folks who want to learn how collaborative pipelines work. Here’s the invite link so you can take a look:

Hey Tusi! While we aren't planning for VA on this specific title (the script is massive!), I would love to have you in the community.

Jade Seal is about building a long-term pipeline, and having native speakers/VAs in the circle for future projects or cultural consulting would be amazing. Come join us and help us build the foundation!

That sounds great — anime art is absolutely welcome, and we love artists who want to branch out and experiment. We’re very beginner-friendly and focused on learning by doing.

Hey everyone! I’m Mary, a Narrative Lead and Indie Dev at Silver Crane Studios. We're currently 3 weeks out from launching the demo for our Qing Dynasty political sim, Princes of Qing.

While building this game, I realized how hard it is for talented newcomers in the industry to get their first 'shipped' credit. Everyone wants you to have experience, but no one will give you your first real job to get it. Your resume gets ignored. It’s a frustrating loop we’ve all been in: you can't get the job without a portfolio of shipped work, but you can't ship work because nobody will hire you without a portfolio.

So, I'm starting something new: Jade Seal Entertainment. It's a community to help newcomers and career-changers get real, practical experience.

What we’re doing:

• The First Scroll Initiative: Structured project experience for students and career-changers.
• Peer Mentorship: A space to build your portfolio alongside a professional pipeline.

We’re looking for Founding Members—artists, writers, and devs—who want to grow with us from Day 1.

Spots are limited so I can make sure it's actually helpful.

If you're tired of applying and getting nowhere, and you're ready to start building real experience with a team, reply below or send me a DM. I'll send you an invite.
